Once the ocean told me
One of its secrets
Of a moon that shone full
And old idiots awoken
Out of the darkness
Of a black ship that sailed
Of shrieking old men
Who came from a grave
A celestial bird beckoned me
To a land of gold
But the ocean echoed
It was a land of unattained hopes
The lure of money
The threat of force
But all I want is
My conscience and soul
But more wonderful than
The gold of crumbling old men
Or the words of decaying law books
Are the secret laws of the ocean
The un-written laws of good and evil
The un-written laws of right and wrong
